RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03156
INDEX CODE: 107.00, 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Discharge or Release from Active Duty, be
corrected to include the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA) and the
Air Force Good Conduct Medal (AFGCM).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Applicant makes no contentions. In support of his request, applicant
provided a Virtual MPF printout, an email communiqué, training
certificates, a class roster, and permanent change of station (PCS) orders.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant served on active duty in an enlisted status from 24 Jul 96
through 30 Jun 99. He was in a Cadet status from 1 Jul 99 through 23 Jul
02. He was appointed a second lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force on 28
May 03 and is currently serving in that grade.
The applicant's request to include his training courses on his DD Form 214
has been administratively corrected.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPPR recommends denial. DPPPR states with respect to the AFOUA,
there is no indication in his records showing he was assigned to the 67
Intelligence Wing as he claimed. His records show he was assigned to the
390th Intelligence Squadron. He was asked to provide copies of
documentation to substantiate his claim but did not respond. Regarding the
AFGCM, DPPPR states he would have been eligible for the AFGCM for the
period 24 Jul 96 through 23 Jul 99; however, he became a Cadet effective 1
Jul 99, and did not serve three years in an enlisted status to qualify for
the AFGCM. Time spent as a Cadet does not qualify for award of the AFGCM.
The DPPPR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 12 Mar
04 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice that would warrant award of the AFOUA or
the AFGCM. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in
judging the merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting
the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was
denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be
reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not
considered with this application.
